GREENWOOD VILLAGE — Nathan Starks, the talented running back who transferred from Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas to Cherry Creek, remains ineligible after Wednesday's latest round of appeals to the Colorado High School Activities Association.

However, while the Starks family and its representative await clarification of further documentation required by the CHSAA board of directors, the case may come down to arbitration in front of a judge Tuesday.

Starks, a senior, and his mother and attorney, Dan Caplis, presented their appeal to the CHSAA board Wednesday and the board later issued a ruling with its president abstaining and others voting 11-0.

But Caplis said the response was unclear, and the CHSAA did not respond to requests for clarification.

"We're not clear on what they voted for and the e-mail they sent us is very unclear," Caplis said. "They said that he remains ineligible until they receive certain additional documentation, but they haven't clarified as to what they want."

If nothing is resolved by Monday, the arbitration is slated for Tuesday and a ruling would be expected within the next couple of days.

Cherry Creek plays Cherokee Trail on Friday night at Legacy Stadium in Aurora. It will be the Bruins' sixth game.

Starks, tabbed by various services as a top recruit, was at Bishop Gorman for three years before transferring to the Bruins. He has been permitted to practice, but hasn't dressed for games.
